Systematic observations of general ozone concentrations in upper layers of atmosphere in Azerbaijan began in January of 1995, where ozonometer (of Russian production) was used in meteorological station of (the capital of Azerbaijan). The results of observations were monthly reported to Main Geophysical Observatory of Russian Federation.

In 1997 the equipment broke and needed fixing. Because of absence of financing it was not possible to send the equipment to for repair. At this moment the observations of ozone layer are not conducted in Azerbaijan.

Unfortunately the absence of financial resources of Government doesn’t let to conduct these works fully. We need financial support to restart continuous observations of ozone layer in Azerbaijan.
